Crank Sisters Intermediate Raging River Canyon Creek Down Hill

This is a no-drop ride and we will regroup as needed. Please know your skill set and be prepared for a lot of climbing. You should be able to stay on your bike most of the time and walk a section here and there —if you can do middle/lower PT, OTG, and Atlas, then you can do CCDH.  This ride is 14+ miles of extreme uphill in exposed sun and spicy blue downhill.  It is expected that riders have already been riding this spring and summer at this distance and extremes!
